I have a few more pieces should hopefully come out by the end of the month, and I’ve been working on some odd projects — including a couple of new comic book one-shots that should come out from MonkeyBrain by year’s end. My artists are working on spec, so good stuff takes time!

Might try to get some more original posts done in the future. I’ve had some good feedback on the children’s book pieces and want to do some more.

EXit MACHINA Part 1: Origins With the Creative Team

”This is the story of my four years in office, from the beginning of 2002 through the godforsaken 2005.

“It may look like a comic, but it’s really a tragedy.”

– From Ex Machina#1

What would really happen if a superhero went into politics? In 2004, comic fans found out.

Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris’ Ex Machina took us to a New York City separated from our own by the presence of one very unique individual – Mitchell Hundred, a civil engineer granted the ability to communicate with machines in a strange accident.

We hope you’ve enjoyed Newsarama’s special longer than a week-long tribute to the final issue of Y: The Last Man. To conclude our look back at the series, we decided to pay tribute to some of the people who helped make the series the success – the fans – some of whom…well, let’s just say you’ll probably recognize some names.

Here are some thoughts on the series from creators both in and outside of the comics industry…and even a few pieces of original art. Be forewarned – some of these contain SPOILERS about the book’s final issues.

Here at Newsarama, we like to go the extra mile. So, when it came time to celebrate the final issue of Y: The Last Man, we decided to not only interview co-creators Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, but to also talk with some of the other talents who helped put the book together.

Two interviews with two often-overlooked members of Y‘s creative team here.
